In About Microsoft Outlook you should see "Corporate or Workgroup" if you have the Corporate or Workgroup installation.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products listed at the beginning of this article.


MORE INFORMATION

The Free/Busy information is stored on a per-user basis rather than a per-profile basis. If the user who is logged on to the computer defines multiple profiles, each profile will contain the same Free/Busy information.

To set the calendar Free/Busy information, follow these steps:

  1. On the Tools menu, click Options.


  2. On the Preferences tab, click Calendar Options.


  3. Click Free/Busy Options. In the Free/Busy Options dialog box you can set the following items:


    • How many months of Free/Busy information to publish.


    • How frequently the information should be updated.


    • Whether the information should be published on the Internet.


    • The Internet URL address for storing and searching for the information.
